Flatwork Ironing
Principle of the ironing process:
Heat balance
- textile heating 4 %
- heating of water 5 %
- vaporization of water 40 %
- heating of air 17 %
- heat losses 37 %
Energy efficiency measures
Heat recovery
The machine is covered and a heat exchanger for the offgas of the roll is installed.
Other measures
- Adoption of velocity of the machine
- Controlling of residual textile moisture
- Controlling of cylinder press temperature
- Adoption of contact pressure/ thickness of textile layer
